RED South Beach Enhances The Experience With DAS Audio

Integration firm Event Concierge Group outfits popular upscale fine dining establishment in Miami with a new system utilizing OVI-12 pendant loudspeakers and Q-10 subwoofers.

RED South Beach, a popular dining establishment in Miami run by chef and sole proprietor Peter Vauthy, was recently outfitted with a new venue-wide sound system employing OVI-12 pendant loudspeakers and Q-10 subwoofers from DAS Audio in a project by AV integration firm Event Concierge Group (based in Miami).

“First and foremost, a fine dining establishment should have a first-class sound system,” says Joshua Rose, owner and creative director for Event Concierge Group. “Our biggest concern was ensuring the restaurant has a rich and consistent sound throughout the entire space but at a background level. It was critically important that the new system deliver excellent speech intelligibility and full, rich music reproduction. In addition to their sound quality, the OVI-12 speakers were a terrific choice because of their ability to be wall mounted, placed in ceiling structures, or be suspended as a pendant speaker. The Q-10 subwoofer is an equally versatile and compact design that afforded us a tremendous amount of flexibility as we determined where and how to deploy the various speakers.”

The ECG installation crew installed 24 OVI-12 loudspeakers and 16 Q-10 Quantum subs throughout the venue, all hanging from the ceiling. According to Rose, “In total, there are seven zones: the wine room, a private glass enclosed space with an 80-inch television, two smaller glass enclosed private dining rooms, the outside seating area, the restrooms, as well as the kitchen for staff to enjoy.

“In addition to the need for solid music reproduction capability,” he continues, “the space routinely gets rented to corporate clientele for talks, meetings, and similar business functions. For this type of application, if the person leading the meeting and other personnel can’t clearly be heard and understood, nothing gets accomplished. Another reason was aesthetics, these speakers disappear into the black ceiling and make the entire place feel warm and inviting.

“Having DAS in the local area has made customer service and support one of the best relationships we have cultivated,” Rose reports. “Our clients benefit from this relationship by getting superb customer service and tech support is always ready to assist. It’s been a very positive experience, even if the client is out of the local area. The client still benefits by us being so close to DAS.”
